  Tasted blind. Ruby garnet and showing a little age. Clean nose of dark cherries, plums and spice, medium (+) intensity. The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity, alcohol and tannins. A very nicely balanced and polished wine (and Merlot is not even one of my favorites). Won Gold at the HLS&R Wine Competition in 2014.

  Dusty Red Fruit on the nose, light to med body and immediate red fruit and earthy tones on the palate. Nice acidity and light tannins on this wine, could have benefited from a few years in the cellar but overall a good wine.
